More Presents...Kind Of...

Hey everyone, sorry if you've all been wondering about the "new additions". They are my new pets! I haven't got any photos yet, but I'll give you some clues and will show you some photos next time.There are 15 of them altogether of 4 different typesThey live in a glass "home"I like to eat their bigger relativesCan you guess what it is yet?!Anyhow, yesterday two BIG boxes arrived and I felt sure they must contain more barkday presents for yours truly, even though they were addressed to mum. They didn't really smell of anything exciting like a lifetime supply of treats, but I was intrigued nonetheless.

Dad unpacked the first box and it started to look horribly familiar...yes, I have seen one of these at auntie Kim's house and when I have met my Airedale buddies the last 2 months.

Yes, I feared as much. Mum and dad have only gone and bought a grooming table for me, gee thanks! Excuse dad's naked flesh, it was hot and sticky and he had been gardening. He has trousers on I promise!

Incedentally, have you noticed what else is appearing in the garden? A fence to keep me off the grass! Apparently a gate is to be added shortly, then it will be stained to match the other fencing. Little do they realise, but with my airegility training, I'm going to be able to jump that no problems very soon, hahahaha!

OK, I have to admit it's a pretty nice table, but all it means is that I'm going to be getting my hair ripped out by the roots even more frequently. OK mum, I mean my hair stripped which is totally painless and will give me a lovely wirey Airedale coat and keep me looking very smart and handsome (yawn!).

Is this a happy face? I don't think so! The other box contained this support arm so I can be "hung" (mum says the post is so I can be attached to stop me falling off the table and so that she can hoist my back end up as I have a tendency to sit down when she tries to do my rear end) - well, wouldn't you too if someone was fiddling around back there?!

I suppose it'll be OK really. At least now that we have our own table mum can groom me little and often rather than one long session when we're borrowing a table. And do you know the best thing about hand stripping? It's best done on dirty hair so you get a better grip and the hair lays flatter, so that means less baths, yay! Every cloud has a silver lining, hey?

I'm sure you'll be hearing about my grooming progress over the coming weeks. I'm going to a show on Saturday, so mum needs to do some serious work between now and then if I stand any chance!

Oh Oscar, I don't know whther to laugh or cry @ you!Now,you're obviously going to be the most smartest 1 year old Airedale @ the show.... I'll be studying the W/E papers for clues of your whereabouts???

Oscar, can I have your pawtograph??I just saw you being famous in a video movie on Bussie's blog..and now you're sure to get prizes for being the handsomestest in the show, especially with your new table to help with the gwooming. I have to have a noose when I get stripped too..I've only had it done once, but I think it's going to happen again pwetty soon.Oh and Oscar, I bet your new additions are fishies..just don't put batter on them and serve them with frites hehehehehsmoochie kissesAsta

Hi Oscar,My hooman sister has a lizard in a glass house. Ozzy likes to sit in front of glass house and listen to the crickets. (Poor crickets they are the food.) Good luck with the new grooming table! I think your Mum is going to like it better than you! Licks,Nugget

Grrrrrrrrrooming table, not exactly the present you were expecting, eh? It's awfully nice, tho. You do look very handsome with a little scruff, by the way (but I may not be the most impartial judge on that topic!!!).

About Me

I'm an 13 month old male Airedale Terrier puppy. My name is Oscar (well, my KC name is Sherifs Sundance Kid but that's a bit much day-to-day). I live in the South of England with my humans & my sister Flakes the Big Fat Cat. I attend obedience classes which I absolutely love! I've been awarded my bronze, silver and gold certificates, so it's full steam ahead for my platinum now. I started agility training in June 2007. I love making new doggy and human pals.
